You guys ever do this new kind of TV watching? Binge something? You know, watch a season’s worth of show without the commercials, like it’s a ten hour movie or something?
My wife’s been watching ‘Mindhunter’. I’ve been catching bits of it, expecting to say, “Ah ha! I remember that, because I read the book years ago!” But nothing struck that chord.
Then I got a sort of vague sense of the time since I’d read it… and realized I really didn’t remember any of it at all.
So I got it on audible.com and I’ve been re-acquainting myself with it.
Aaaaaaand now I won’t be able to sleep, ’cause there are some completely absolutely positively messed up people in the world and some of the worst of them are running around my imagination now.
Thanks, books. [sarcastic tone]
Responding to hover text: Misogynistic? I don’t think so.
Gotta admit, I never even noticed that Dr. LeChamp was wearing a bathing suit under her labcoat.
Not sure if that makes me a traitor to my feminist roots, or just clueless because I NEVER notice what anybody is wearing.
The only frame where you can tell she’s wearing a swim suit is the first frame from Wednesday. I didn’t notice till I went back to look.
So she’s not a cable channel doctor yet, but a cable channel doctor wannabe.
I found a link to LeChamp’s first appearance in the first Outdoors fest. I think she’d been referred to “off-screen” as the doctor that worked on Dusty Trayle’s TV show. But, I don’t think we’d gotten to see her in the flesh until the duct tape canoe contest at the Stanky Creek fest.
So yeah, she’s a cable channel doctor, and looking to get more cable. Channels

that’s the joys of books you can say.
even in mines at times I ‘tackle’ about some subjects that some barely dare to talk about.
and about miss ‘doctor’ here, it’s not HUGE ratings that she implies but her RACK!
Books. Ruining sleep since 1436.
How do you think Gutenberg felt, when he’d have to stay up late, unable to finish a book because he hadn’t printed the last page yet.
Socrates felt the same way when the Alphabet as codified. He was of the opinion that the youth would waste all of their time reading and society would suffer for it.
Doc LeChamp reminds me of an exchange… a woman was trying to market her looks to a sugar daddy. Someone replied back that as she aged she was going to lose the looks so she wasn’t an asset worth investing in. So quit trying to take her looks to the bank and cash in. (one of the best bragups and ego deflatings around…) Besides LeChamp was being used for Dusty Trails show wasn’t she?
As for what haunts the corners of the mind, Greg, don’t sit down with me and go to that topic. Let’s leave it there. And it is also true that reality will outstrip anything you can dream up if you just look. Unfortunately.
I just thought it was a shoutout to Baywatch..
Am I the only one who would take Jacquee’s news more seriously with this look than with the big hair look? Shallow of me, I know, but she seems much more of a real person this way rather than a generic newsbot talking head…
Seriously? A woman gets all her hair burnt off and she’s that calm? Not any woman I know.
It was a wig and some melted plastic dripped on her.
…I forgot to say SPOILERS again. 🙁
